The β-diketiminate substituted germanium(II) and lead(II) dimethylamides, LGeNMe2 (1) and LPbNMe2 (2), [L = CH{(CMe)2(2,6-iPr2C6H3N)2}] have been synthesized by the reaction of LiNMe2 with LGeCl and LPbCl respectively. Reaction of compound 1 with an equivalent amount of elemental sulfur leads to the germanium analogue of thioamide, LGe(S)NMe2 (3). 2 reacts with 2-benzoyl pyridine (PhCOPy-2) to form the lead(II) alkoxide LPbOC(NMe2)Ph(2-Py) (4) by nucleophilic addition of “NMe2” to the carbon oxygen double bond. The reaction of stable N-heterocyclic germylene L1Ge [L1 = CH{(C=CH2)(CMe)(2,6-iPr2C6H3N)2}] with hydrazine yields the germanium(II) substituted hydrazide LGeNHNH2 (5) by cleavage of one N-H bond of hydrazine. Finally, attempts to isolate lead(II) hydride LPbH from the reaction of 2 with phenylsilane (PhSiH3) failed, and instead LPbN(2,6-iPr2C6H3){C(CH3)CHC(CH3)dN(2,6-iPr2C6H3)} (6) was obtained in very low yield. We are able to prove this only by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. Compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were characterized by microanalysis, electron impact (EI) mass spectrometry, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore compounds 1, 2, 5, and 6 were characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analysis, with the result that they are exhibiting monomeric structures in the solid state with trigonal-pyramidal environment at the metal center and a stereochemically active lone pair.

Introduction In recent years the chemistry of carbene and its higher analogues has received considerable attention because of their special properties and reactivities.1 Recently we have reported on the synthesis and reactivity of stable divalent monomeric silicon, germanium, tin, and lead compounds *To whom correspondence should be addressed.

with small organic substituents using chelating ligands.2-4 In literature there are some reports on the synthesis of germanium(II) and lead(II) diamides, and also few heteroleptic germanium(II) and lead(II) amides are known.5 Herein, we present the synthesis and reaction of the first monomeric dimethylamido derivative of germanium(II) and lead(II) with the β-diketiminate ligand. Hydrazine and its derivatives are important molecules in the field of organic and inorganic chemistry since the discovery of a new indole synthesis in 1883 by Emil Fischer.6 In literature the cleavage of the N-N bond of hydrazine is well documented by a variety of model systems, while the N-H bond cleavage of hydrazine is rare.7 N-H bond cleavage of hydrazine on a metal surface has been reported, and substitution reactions of the hydrogen atoms of hydrazine are well-known.8 Herein, we report on N-H bond cleavage of hydrazine with N-heterocyclic germylene under formation of germanium(II) substituted hydrazide.

The 1H NMR spectrum of 1 shows a singlet at 4.82 ppm for the γ-CH proton, and two septets (3.43, 3.37 ppm) corresponding to the CH protons of the iPr moieties. Moreover the signal that arises at δ 2.82 ppm corresponds to the protons of the NMe2 group. The most abundant ion in the EI mass spectrum appeared at m/z 491 for [Mþ - NMe2]. 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with one monomer in the asymmetric unit (Figure 1). Similarly treatment of LPbCl with LiNMe2 in diethyl ether afforded the lead(II) amide, LPbNMe2 (2), which was isolated as a pale yellow, very air sensitive, microcrystalline solid in moderate yield (Scheme 1). 2 was characterized by 1H, 13C, and 207Pb NMR spectroscopy, EI mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The 1H NMR spectrum of 2 shows a singlet at 4.73 ppm for the γ-CH proton, and two septets (δ 3.48, 3.30 ppm) corresponding to the CH protons of the iPr moieties. Moreover the signal that arises at δ 3.80 ppm corresponds to the protons of the NMe2 group. This resonance is (5) (a) Davidson, P. J.; Lappert, M. F. J. Chem. Soc., Chem.Commun. 1973, 317–322.

shifted downfield compared to that of the analogous germanium and tin compounds (see Table 1). The 207Pb NMR of 2 exhibits a singlet at 1674 ppm; this suggests that the NMe2 group is a stronger σ-acceptor, when compared with that of chloride (207Pb NMR of LPbCl δ 1413 ppm). The most abundant ion in the EI mass spectrum appeared at m/z 625 for the molecular ion [Mþ - NMe2]. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with one monomer in the asymmetric unit (Figure 2).

of LGeNMe2 with equivalent amounts of elemental sulfur at room temperature in toluene leads after 1 day to the white compound LGe(S)NMe2 (3) in moderate yield. Compound 3 is soluble in benzene, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and n-hexane, and shows no decomposition on exposure to dry air. Compound 3 was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and EI mass spectrometry. The 1H NMR spectrum of 3 exhibits a broad resonance at δ 2.89-2.73 ppm for the amide (NMe2) protons, which can be compared with the singlet resonance of 1 (δ 2.82 ppm). The most abundant ion peak in the EI mass spectrum appeared at m/z 523 [Mþ - NMe2]. Treatment of 2 with 2-benzoyl pyridine at -20 to -10 °C leads almost quantitatively to the alkoxide 4 (Scheme 3) with the Pb-O-CNMe2 core. It is worth mentioning that the corresponding reaction with 1 does not occur even at higher temperature (120 °C), but with LSnNMe210 it proceeds at room temperature.12 This trend is as expected because the reactivity of Group 14 amides gradually increases with increasing radii of the elements. Such an increase of reactivity was also observed when LGeH2a,d and LSnH3a,b were used. The 1H NMR spectrum of 4 exhibits a singlet (δ 4.77 ppm) which can be assigned to the CH proton of the ligand backbone and another singlet resonance at δ 1.93 ppm for protons of the NMe2 group which is different from that of the precursor 2. The 207Pb NMR resonance of 4 arises at δ 1093 ppm, which is similar to that of the phenolato substituted β-diketiminate lead compound, LPbO-2,6-tBu2C6H3 (δ 1040 ppm),5d but very much different, when compared with that of compound 2 (LPbNMe2: δ 1674 ppm). In the last year we have shown that the synthesis of LGeNH2 was achieved by the reaction of N-heterocyclic germylene, L1Ge, [L1 = CH{(C=CH2)(CMe)(2,6-iPr2C6H3N)2}] with ammonia gas.13 Consequently, we have demonstrated the reactivity of the N-heterocyclic silylene, L1Si, with ammonia, hydrazine, N-methyl hydrazine, and diphenyl hydrazone.14 (12) Jana, A.; Objartel, I.; Roesky, H.

Scheme 5. Preparation of Compound 6

Here we outline the reaction of L1Ge with hydrazine, under formation of the germanium(II) substituted hydrazide, LGeNHNH2 (Scheme 4), which is different when compared with that of the silicon analogue. In the silicon case there is formation of the silicon(IV) hydrazide L1Si(H)NHNH2.14b The synthesis of the first stable germanium(II) substituted hydrazone, LGeN(H)NCHR (R = CO2Et and SiMe3) was recently described.15 The addition of hydrazine to a red solution of L1Ge in toluene leads to a rapid vanishing of the red color (Scheme 5). From the resulting yellow solution the volatiles were removed in vacuo, and the residue was extracted with n-hexane. Concentration of the solution yielded yellow crystals of LGeNHNH2 (5) in 85% yield. The composition of 5 was supported by 1H NMR spectroscopy, EI mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Furthermore, it was characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. The 1H NMR spectrum shows a doublet and triplet resonance (δ 3.16 and 0.87 ppm), which corresponds to the different protons of the NHNH2 group of 5. Single crystals of 5 were obtained from a saturated n-hexane solution at -32 °C after 4 days. Compound 5 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with one monomer in the asymmetric unit. X-ray crystal structure analysis afforded a monomeric structure as illustrated in Figure 3. Surprisingly, 5 is monomeric in the solid state and what is even more striking, the NHNH2 group is not involved in any kind of hydrogen bonding as shown by X-ray structural analysis.

is formed via a hydride intermediate accompanied by hydrogen elimination.16 From the literature it is known, that metal hydride reacts with amine to form the metal amide complexes under elimination of hydrogen.17 Compound 6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121, with one monomer in the asymmetric unit. The structure of 6 shows that one ligand is chelating to lead, while the other is monodentate arranged. This result is due to the steric demand of the two ligands. The difference in bonding is reflected in the bond lengths within the ligands. In the monodentate case there are carbon carbon single and double bonds, which are distinctly different, while in the chelating ligand the bond lengths are at an average. The geometry at the lead center is similar to that in compound 2, which is trigonal pyramidal with a stereochemically active lone pair. Summary In conclusion we have shown the synthesis of a monomeric germanium(II) and lead(II) dimethylamide derivative and their reactions. The germanium analogue of thioamide, LGe(S)NMe2, was obtained by the reaction of germanium(II) dimethylamide with equivalent amounts of elemental sulfur. A lead(II)-alkoxide has been prepared by the reaction of LPbNMe2 with 2-benzoyl pyridine. Finally we have shown that one N-H bond of hydrazine is cleaved with L1Ge. Experimental Section

is stable in the solid state as well as in solution for a longer period of time without any decomposition under an inert atmosphere. The geometry about the germanium is trigonal pyramidal. The germanium is surrounded by two nitrogen atoms from the backbone of the chelating ligand and the nitrogen of the NHNH2 group. Finally, we tried to prepare the lead(II) hydride, LPbH, by reaction of LPbCl with AlH3 3 NMe3, K-selectride, and PhSiH3 respectively, as well as the reaction of LPbN(TMS)2 or LPbNMe2 (2) with PhSiH3. In all cases we obtained the free ligand (LH) and metallic lead as the major product with small amounts of LPbN(2,6-iPr2C6H3){C(CH3)CHC(CH3)d N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)} (6) (Scheme 5). The latter, 6 (Figure 4), has been analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The formation of 6 suggests that LPbH might be formed as an intermediate which immediately decomposed to LH and metallic lead. In a side reaction the free ligand reacts with LPbH to form compound 6 under elimination of hydrogen. Power and co-workers also reported on a lead bonded compound, which (16) Pu, L.; Twamley, B.; Power, P. P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 3524– 3525.

All manipulations were performed under a dry and oxygen free atmosphere (N2) using standard Schlenk line techniques or inside a MBraun MB 150-GI glovebox. All solvents were dried by a MBraun solvent purifying system prior to use. The starting materials LGeCl18 and LPbCl4b were prepared using literature procedures. All other chemicals were purchased commercially and used as received. 1H and 207Pb NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance 500 MHz instrument and referenced to the deuterated solvent in case of the 1 H NMR spectra. 207Pb NMR spectrum was referenced to Pb(Me)4. Elemental analyses were performed by the Analytisches Labor des Instituts f€ ur Anorganische Chemie der Universit€ at G€ ottingen. EI-MS were measured on a Finnigan MAT 8230 or a Varian MAT CH5 instrument. Melting points were measured in sealed glass tubes with a B€ uchi melting point B 540 instrument. Synthesis of LGeNMe2 (1). A solution of LGeCl (0.52 g, 1.0 mmol) in diethyl ether (20 mL) was added drop by drop to a stirred suspension of LiNMe2 (0.051 g, 1.0 mmol) in diethyl ether (10 mL) at -78 °C.
